Representaion During Books The Heart of Texas (Texas #1)
Riley Hayes, the playboy of the Hayes family, is a young man who seems to have it all: money, a career he loves, and his pick of beautiful women. His father, CEO of HayesOil, passes control of the corporation to his two sons; but a stipulation is attached to Riley's portion. Concerned about Riley's lack of maturity, his father requires that Riley 'marry and stay married for one year to someone he loves'. Angered by the requirement, Riley seeks a means of bypassing his father's stipulation. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him "for love" suits Riley's purpose. There is no mention in his father's documents that the marriage had to be with a woman and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior's arch rival. Win win. Riley marries Jack and abruptly his entire world is turned inside out. Riley hadn't counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, quiet and unassuming rancher, is a force of nature in his own right. This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust and love, the sprawling life of a rancher and the whirlwind existence of a playboy. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means.Details Books To The Heart of Texas (Texas #1)

How to review? Firstly I enjoyed this story, the question is did I enjoy it for the right reasons. For me this story brought back happy memories. The main plot line of a blackmailed marrige was a popular plot in the hundreds of MF romances I used to read and enjoy, plus the whole Dallas feel, (I really don't want to say anything but anyone that reads and has watched will see what I mean), was part of the appeal for me. Although, I would't label this as a soap, it was much much better. TheEpic soap opera of a romance in true Dallasty styleDallasty, that's what we used to call the American soap operas Dallas and Dynasty, their overblown and unbelievable storylines kept us enthralled as teens through the 80s as we discussed who shot JR or which of the Carrington and Colby clans would survive the Moldavian Royal massacre.This epic effort from RJ Scott is all of those in book format and it's awesome. There's so many dramatic moments there'd have been newspaper column inches for days
3.5 StarsIf you like the forced marriage trope, coupled with high drama, family politics, old feuds, murder mysteries, lots of plot twists and turns, and really entertaining narration then look no farther - The Heart of Texas has it all!This is the quintessential feuding families high drama soap opera story. It's absolutely scandalous!Sean Crisden is absolutely wonderful! He brings Jack's Texas drawl and growling tones, and Riley's upper crust and more subtle tones, to life as well as doing a

4 StarsOh, boy. I liked this. I liked this a lot! I feel like maybe I shouldn't have, but whatever! It was abundantly melodramatic - God, was it ever - but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Reading this reminded me of my teen years when I was unashamedly obsessed with that (by all accounts ridiculous) soap opera TV show, Passions. Granted, Passions was outrageously slow paced - you could literally not watch it for 3 months and it would still be set during the same day you last watched it, it moved that
So everyone kept telling me about how this book was so much like a soap opera...and they were right. It had lots of drama and plots twists and turns, I could not put it down. I never knew what kind of disaster or shocking revelation was going to happen next. Lots of lies, backstabbing, betrayals, secrets...and a murder! You know...the usual in a soap opera.I loved Jack and Riley and how they moved from long time enemies to unexpected lovers. It was a sweet romance following lots of sexual
2,5 STARS I've enjoyed the audio, but the story was over the top! So much drama... and not a good drama actually. It felt long, unnecessary long. There were parts I enjoyed, but we don't get much romance. SO many things happen and my head was spinning with all the side characters and well the secrets and plots.Can't say I was a huge fan of either of the main characters. Many things bugged me, but overall it was an OK read with some things I would have enjoyed more, if it wasn't for the OTT
You know when you read a really great book and you just don't know how to explain it? Well, that's how I feel right now. I absolutely love this book to death. My emotions were so invested in this story that I honestly didn't want it to end even with how much I was crying over it. LolRiley Hayes is young, rich and successfully working at Hayes Oil but he has a carefree life. He's extremely pissed off when his father requires him to stay married to someone he loves for a whole year before he can
